By Eric Torres: I just wanted to clear things up for you Miguel Cotto doubters out there and give you a little knowledge about Yuri and his so called Physical advantage. Some of you so called writers out there who claim Cotto is too small, I beg to differ and say to you that you should have done your homework. Antonio Margarito is the same size as Yuri Foreman, they both stand at 5’11.” Cotto handled the height from Antonio Margarito and displayed there was no significant advantage during that fight other than the plaster.

Shane Mosley actually has an abnormally longer arm reach than Yuri Foreman. Shane’s arms length is actually 74″ to Yuri’s 72.” Cotto Handled the reach coupled with Mosley’s speed pretty well. What does Yuri’s supposed advantage mean? NOTHING! From what I have seen leading up to this fight is a lot of arrogance coming from Yuri.

I have seen him in the gym looking distracted and actually get the feeling that he feels as if he is the bigger man in there. In reality if Miguel Cotto was able to Negate the physical attributes from Margarito (I know he won, still does not hide the fact that we all know he cheated) and Shane Mosley, then why in the world would people count Cotto out? My prediction for this fight is Yuri taking the first initial rounds and Cotto eventually wearing Yuri down with a constant attack to the body. I have Cotto with a stoppage at round 8!
